Proceeds from the Financing are anticipated to be used to advance DISA Uranium’s conventional mine development, fund remediation and recovery programs, progress domestic uranium milling infrastructure, and support the Company’s long-term growth.
Based on the financing commitments received, DISA Uranium’s implied pro forma fully diluted equity value would be approximately US$505 million. IsoEnergy will own approximately 33% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis and will be DISA Uranium's single largest shareholder.
Strategic Rationale for the Transaction
- Creates a Leading U.S. Conventional Uranium Platform
- Combines IsoEnergy’s portfolio of permitted past-producing conventional uranium mines and exploration projects in Utah with DISA Uranium’s proprietary HPSATM processing technology to create an integrated and differentiated U.S.-focused uranium company.
- Unlocks a Large, Untapped Domestic Resource Through Remediation and Recovery
- DISA Uranium's remediation and recovery business addresses the thousands of abandoned uranium mine ("AUM") sites across the western United States, recovering the uranium contained in legacy waste.
- Supported by the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") Source Materials License for uranium recovery from legacy waste across multiple sites, this pipeline provides access to a significant, largely untapped domestic resource that requires no new mining, complements the Utah Portfolio as feedstock for future processing capacity, and addresses a decades-old environmental liability.
- Transformational HPSA™ Processing Technology Provides Economic Advantage
- HPSA™ has the potential to significantly reduce operating costs by upgrading mineralized feedstock and reducing waste volumes.
- Preliminary testing at the Tony M Mine demonstrated the potential to reduce feedstock mass to ~22% of its original volume while recovering ~88% of the uranium.
- Foundation for New U.S. Processing Infrastructure
- Over time, the combined resource base may provide the scale to support development of a centralized uranium recycling and processing facility, which would become the first new conventional uranium mill constructed in the United States in more than four decades.
- Strategy aligns with IsoEnergy's goal of building a multi-asset uranium producer in tier one jurisdictions.
- Experienced Team, Backed by a Consortium of Leading Strategic Investors
- To be led by the founders who took HPSA™ from concept to the first-of-its kind NRC Source Materials License, supported by a deep bench including former NRC commissioner, regulatory, operational and technical experts.
- Anchored by leading mining, energy, and technology strategic investors including Tembo Capital, BHP Ventures, Galvanize Climate Solutions, Valor Equity Partners, Evok Innovations, Halliburton Labs, and Veriten.
- Aligned with U.S. Energy Security Priorities
- Strategically positioned to capitalize on accelerating investment in the U.S. uranium supply chain, driven by energy security, AI-powered electricity demand, and federal support.
- Enhanced Platform for Regional Consolidation
- DISA Uranium is expected to have the scale, asset quality, and growth profile to differentiate it within the uranium sector, and when combined with its technology-driven cost advantage and vertically integrated platform, will create a unique opportunity to drive further regional consolidation.
Philip Williams, Chief Executive Officer and Director of IsoEnergy, commented, “The creation of DISA Uranium marks an important step in advancing IsoEnergy’s strategy of building a globally diversified, development ready uranium platform. By contributing our permitted, past-producing Utah asset base and pairing it with DISA’s proprietary HPSA™ technology, we believe we can enhance project economics, expand the universe of viable conventional uranium resources, and ultimately support domestic processing infrastructure. At a time when the United States is placing renewed emphasis on nuclear energy, energy security, and the reshoring of its nuclear fuel supply chain, we believe this partnership is both timely and highly differentiated. For IsoEnergy and its shareholders, it unlocks value of our U.S. portfolio, while retaining direct, meaningful exposure to the growth of a unique platform designed to help reshape domestic uranium production.”
Greyson Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer of DISA Uranium, commented, "DISA Uranium was built on a straightforward idea: much of the uranium this country needs is already out of the ground, sitting in waste piles across the West. Remediating those abandoned mine sites and recovering the uranium and vanadium they hold is the core of our business, and the reason we hold the only NRC license of its kind. IsoEnergy's Utah Portfolio extends that platform — HPSA™ is designed to make those conventional assets meaningfully more economic by upgrading feedstock at the mine site and reducing what has to be transported and processed. Together, recovered legacy material and a scaled conventional resource base give us the feedstock to bring to life a new domestic uranium recycling and processing facility, the missing link in rebuilding an independent American nuclear fuel supply. With the support of this investor group, DISA Uranium is positioned to move quickly."
Benefits to IsoEnergy Shareholders
As the single largest shareholder of DISA Uranium, the Transaction will provide IsoEnergy’s shareholders with exposure to a differentiated U.S. uranium platform underpinned by the following strategic benefits:
- Exclusive rights to proprietary HPSA™ technology relating to uranium production provide a transformative economic advantage and clear path to production for the Utah Portfolio.
- Reinforced strategic position within U.S. domestic nuclear fuel supply chain with expanded U.S. production capacity from DISA Uranium's expansive pipeline of legacy abandoned uranium remediation sites and other regional conventional uranium deposits, supported by the only U.S. NRC Source Materials License for uranium recovery from legacy waste across multiple sites.
- Aligned with national priority to rebuild and secure the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain, supported by established relationships across federal, state, and tribal governments and a demonstrated record of executing alongside public and private sector partners at abandoned uranium mine sites on federal and tribal lands. IsoEnergy and DISA have agreed to explore opportunities to collaborate with respect to the marketing and sale of uranium produced.
- Robust financial sponsorship provides flexibility and support to rapidly advance strategic initiatives and pursue future growth opportunities.
- Enhances IsoEnergy's differentiated portfolio of equity and strategic investments, providing investors with exposure across the uranium value chain and the potential for re-rating.
About HPSA™ Technology and U.S. Uranium Platform
HPSA™ is DISA's patented, modular mineral liberation technology that uses high-velocity slurry streams to generate particle-on-particle collisions, causing material to fracture along natural mineral grain boundaries. Unlike conventional mineral processing methods that rely on grinding media and chemical reagents, HPSA™ mechanically separates target minerals from host material, upgrading feed by concentrating valuable minerals into a smaller volume for downstream transportation and processing. The technology has advanced beyond the pilot stage and has been commercially validated, with eight continuous HPSA™ units deployed across four continents in mining applications.
Test work on mineralized material from IsoEnergy's Tony M Mine demonstrated the potential for approximately 4x grade uplift, 78% reduction in material volumes requiring transportation, and approximately 88% uranium recovery, highlighting HPSA™'s potential to significantly improve the economics of conventional uranium production.
DISA Uranium's proprietary technology is complemented by a unique remediation platform. Through the only U.S. NRC Source Materials License authorizing uranium recovery from legacy mine waste across multiple sites, the Company is positioned to remediate historic environmental liabilities while recovering uranium and other valuable minerals. This creates a differentiated opportunity to address a significant domestic remediation challenge, including more than 15,000 sites associated with abandoned mine waste, over 4,200 defense-related uranium mines.
Together, DISA Uranium's proprietary technology, unique remediation platform, and commercially validated processing capabilities position the Company to improve the economics of conventional uranium production while addressing legacy uranium mine remediation, creating a differentiated platform to support the rebuilding of the U.S. domestic uranium supply chain.
